Iron Maiden!!!!! :D

Yes you guessed it right, i was one among the lucky ppl who saw 'em in action this weekend... :) 1st ever concert i attend( 'm not counting here the concerts part of coll fests) 'n its an Eddfest... now that is a Start! Now how many can boast of seeing bruce dickinson, Steve harris... in flesh? :D

Sound - Had gone into da concert thinking it will be real loud in thr, but it wasn't so at all...comment hrd frm a neighboring guy ' Wht da f*&^ is tht?! I play better sound in my room! ' This was when parikrama were playing, 'n we were just few feet in front of da stage. One of my friends in da 900 section was saying tht they cud hardly hear nething. 'n that they started screening on the big-screens only when Maiden came...!

Space - Actually it shd be Lack of Space'.... now it was so so packed, tht a person of even a slight claustrophobic nature, wud have fainted! Hardly any place to headbang 'n you wud think that wud stop ppl! No way! So you had ppl headbangin', jumping, falling on each other...With a rumored strength of 68K!(yeah...me too can't believe it, my take prob max 40K), shd say its lucky no-one got hurt.

Energy - shd i even bother? :)

Smell - Now thr was no escaping tht!!! the acrid smell of cigarettes, the punget beer smell, deos' smell (you know da ppl, who spray like an entire bottle!)...Well ppl who know me, will know abt how i can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke. 'n 'm sure ppl will tell me...tht ofourse you can't escape tht @ a Concert! which is so very true...So guess da amount of passive smoking i must have done in tht one evening alone may be equal to smoking an entire pack (guess only...coz me have no real knowledge.. :D) But an interesting thing i noticed is tht da smell which i was getting most often wasn't da strong cigarrette smell(thanking my lucky stars :) )...but a slightly weak/soft one... which meant tht most ppl were smoking grass? ?And another unfortunate thing i was made aware of, was tht thrs no place to run, no place to hide, no hankie is thick enough, when someone farts in a concert! :(

Thirst - 'm sure lot of ppl who have ever been to any concert, will know abt it...

DareDevilry - Climbing up a scaffold 'n sliding down, during a song....now thts something! Have the video of it, will upload it when i get time... :)

The Beasthimself! - The huge battle tank 'n Eddie emerging 'n surveying one 'n all with his fiery eyes! 'n then there was the giant Eddie thundering around the stage while Bruce was performing at his energetic best, jumping, climbing.... 'n not to forget the amazing background images of Eddie!!!
